Let's hope that Oscer does the right thing for us Hobbitheads and it wins next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch2000 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Been watching Winning Times on Sky Atlantic. John C Reilly is absolutely splendid in it, not that that's a shock to anyone. But it's a really good show. A great ensemble cast, funny, and very well directed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 31, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2022 Finally finished All of Us Are Dead on Netflix. It's far longer than it needs to be at 12 episodes and its pacing and use of characters is pretty shit at times but it's still got enough going for it to persevere with it, the action is really good especially. I hope the next series is half the length though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 2, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2022 I was round seeing my gran the other day and she had the Smithsonian channel on. It looks to be comprised mainly of documentaries about warships and some bloke talking over footage of places filmed from the air. It's the lowest effort dip in dip out background noise television in the world. Not even the adverts are particularly intrusive. Proper old people's television.

Mr_Danger Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I finished Severance last night. For those not in the know it’s about a group of workers who have a chip installed in to their brains so that their work selfs (innies) and out of work selfs (outies) are completely separate people with no recollection of what goes on either side of the work/home divide. It’s a great concept and has a really good cast. It also has the most surprisingly heartbreaking love story you’ll see on tv this year.

Keith Houchen Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Sure it was recommended on here but now onto the third season of “Ghosts”. I’ve never seen Horrible Histories but only heard wonderful things. If this is the kind of thing they produce it’s not surprising. A really lovely, funny, and well observed comedy. I love how each ghost is still of their own time and how they are all brilliantly deep characters. Simon Farnaby As Julian Fawcett MP is superb, as you’d expect from him. Every character brings something to the table and the ensemble work so well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Deaths is one of the greatest things ever on TV. This weeks Derry Girls contained a wonderful nod to Father Ted which made me so happy. Such a wonderful show.

Horrible Histories is still my favourite thing they've done, but it's a really close-run thing. Quite a different style - kid's sketch comedy - but there's some hilarious scenes in there. Just make sure you're watching series 1 - 5, they changed up the cast after that and it lost all its appeal/quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Got through all of Hacks on Amazon while I was on holiday last week. Originally watched it because I love all things Vegas but its actually a really great show. Surprised it took so long to air over here compared to the US but Jean Smart is exceptional.

DavidB6937 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 First couple of new Better Call Saul episodes were really good. A lot of set up but that's to be expected. I love Kim so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SuperBacon Posted April 25, 2022 Members Share Posted April 25, 2022 Heartstopper I tell you something, it takes a LOT to wake my 12yo up when it isn't school, so the fact that she woke up at 7am on Friday during the half term to watch this all in one go speaks volumes. She's bloody obsessed. What a wonderful little show. For those that don't know, its based on the graphic novels (superb as well) by Alice Oseman and is a very simple tale of "Boy meets boy, they become friends, then they fall in love" but that's massively simplifying it and doing it a bit of a disservice. It's funny, sad, is wonderfully shot, has a great soundtrack and most importantly of all, is incredibly important representation. I can imagine for young queer kids, this means absolutely everything to them, to see this on TV and that is genuinely wonderful and can only be a good thing. And Olivia Colman is in it. Very wholesome as well, I'd say you'd be fine with pre-teens watching this. Apparently it's all 12yo and her mates talked about all day back at school, and now I have to arrange a "Heartstopper themed birthday party" in November. Lovely stuff Massive recommend.
